We’re delighted to announce that John McNamara, GB Australia CEO, recently signed The CEO Pledge.

The Australian CEO Pledge was drawn up following the 2018 Dive In Festival for Diversity and Inclusion in Insurance, in which GB was a proud event partner.

The Dive In theme #timeforinclusion focused on highlighting practical ideas and inspiration for how to address Diversity and Inclusion within our industry.

As part of the Dive In festival, many CEO’s and C-Suite leaders engaged in a CEO Roundtable discussion to share ideas and strategies aimed at promoting inclusive behaviours in the Insurance Industry.

Signed by many top executives in the insurance industry, the pledge aims to facilitate more inclusive and diverse workplaces.

The Pledge was initiated at a launch event in London in July 2018, as a UK industry-wide initiative to demonstrate the insurance profession’s unwavering commitment to transforming its culture and received over 40 signatories.

The CEO Pledge is a public commitment reinforcing our promise as individual organisations, and as a collective, to challenge inappropriate behaviour and create increasingly welcoming and inclusive workplaces for the diverse talent powering our sector.

John McNamara, GB Australia CEO, was grateful to have the opportunity to make this commitment.

“At GB, we are always working towards creating an environment that encourages diversity and inclusion. Signing the pledge allows us and our industry to take a step forward in reaching this goal.”

“We hope to create a more inclusive workplace that supports the diverse talent that drives our industry.”
